Cartoon on right, two women sitting together in one of their houses, dishes piled up behind them. The woman sort of 'manspreading' (one could say), says, "I envy him his tough day at the office - it's such a perfect excuse to get smashed..." Text of Anne's article Equal time for women FOR THE addictions field to believe that the call for attention to women's specific needs and problems is a middle-class phenomenon that can be taken lightly, is wrong. Slowly but certainly, the mistake of lumping women alcoholics and addicts with men is beginning to haunt us. That we ignore them a t our peril and, more important, at the peril of the next generation, was dramatically illustrated in a paper presented to the National Drug Abuse Conference in New Orleans. Of 118 women in 44 therapeutic communities, 44% had had incestuous relationships by the time they were 15 years old. One can only surmise what sort of homes those children lived in, what other relationships they had. But today, some of their children are in custody or treatment for alcoholism, addictions, and other "anti-social" behavior. As the paper's presenter, Dr. Judianne Densen-Gerber, put it: How often can we expect a female child, violated at three, four, or five years old by a man from whom she had every right to expect protection from sexual exploitation, develop into a coping. functioning member of society? And what can we expect of her children? (Many of the women studied had several, said Dr. Judianne Denser Gerber.) Although more investigation is needed, to deny the potentially profound implications o f this study in the etiology of alcoholism and addiction in women would be rash. Troubled men and troubled women make troubled children to- gether. To set women above men would be no more right than having neglected them. But to fail to give them equal time and attention is to fail the next generation. C
In Memoriam IWY JUST TWO months to go and we all can relax. International Women's Year will be over. Interesting, stimulating. Occasionally even amusing Just about everyone, for instance, had or heard a ribald laugh at some stage about the government's chief contribution to the year — the slogan Why Not? They may also have heard the rumor that in 1976, the new buttons would read Not Bloody Likely. But that's the way many will remember it. And they will think, and even say,: "That's it. We've listened. Now get on with it and let the rest o f u s get back t o reality:" To be fair, there will be women as well as men thinking this way. In the alcohol and drug field, as in almost every other, awareness of women and their problems increased this year. Women seemed suddenly more obvious, more prominent. For as much a s any other reason, perhaps it was simply because they were now beginning to be seen as something more than a research sub-section on wives, mothers or daughters of alcoholics. They were beginning to be seen a s people with their own problems. In the context of the emphasis everywhere on women, the focus on them i n this field probably created the mistaken impression that a n inordinate amount of time and energy was being devoted to their needs. Women are "cutting themselves off", "doing exactly the same thing men have been doing", some people said. Their aims are fine, they said, but their tactics... Implicit in the unfinished suggestion needed a few men to show them how to get things done. These people, and they include women, thought they were seeing their fears confirmed when, in August, in Levis, Quebec, the Canadian Foundation on Alcohol and Drug Dependencies held its consultation on women and, in September, when the ARF's Eastern Ontario regional office, with the aid of the Non Medical Use of Drugs Directorate, held a provincial consultation on women with alcohol and drug problems. The first was attended by men and women representing the field across Ca…

🚨Higher Ed Petition🚨 to save a thriving & growing classics program at U Iowa from unnecessary shutdown. Crushing the humanities is closed-minded politics wanting grads to be obedient workers not critical thinkers. HELP PUSH BACK. #HistSky #MedievalSky #HigherEd

Liebe Schwarmintelligenz auf #medievalsky, #histsky, #earlymodernsky, #booksky kennt sich hier jemand mit Herzogin Dorothea von Preußen (1504-1547) aus und weiß zufällig, ob es irgendwelche Forschung zu ihr in Bezug auf (eigenen) Bücher(-besitz), eine Bibliothek oder Ähnliches gibt?
Two weeks left until the LMS Winter Colloquium! 🍾😊

It is *fascinating* & indicative of SOMETHING that none of the 4 depict the most common people in Bourdichon's society. The working people are town craftspeople, not rural peasants--yet French society of 1500 was at least 80% peasant. Curieux. #HistSky #History #earlyModernHistory #ArtHistory
ADVICE NEEDED!
Hey, history hive mind: I’m working on an article and having to convert CMOS citations (and discursive footnotes) into the awkward and unsightly APA.
What advice and/or moral support can you offer? #histsky #skystorians #histed #edhist
forgot the 🗃️ #histsky although probably I need to be on the list for that to work?
I started reading this Genghis Khan book and in the intro the author writes that when he was born in 1162 "No one in China had heard of Europe, and no one in Europe had heaerd of China". Feels very unlikely* to me but I'm not an expert - #histsky ??
As we celebrate New Years, let's raise a toast to Prime Minister Henry Pelham who, in 1752, finally decided that New Years in England (and colonies in America and elsewhere) should be January 1 instead of March 25. (Scotland had switched in 1600.) #ukhistory #nye #HistSky #History bit.ly/3YjpBru
Fall semester is almost over. I have 6 weeks to emotionally prepare myself to teach 20th century history.
#histsky What cheers you up when teaching the 20th century?
I REALLY like teaching civil rights movements, vaccines, and global popular culture.
This looks like a very important book on the relationship between Truman & the atomic bomb. #history #histsky
🧶 #Histsky
Extreme nerd request! #HistSky #HistorySky #BookSky I'm looking for non-fiction (or contemporaneous fiction) on bureaucratic changes that followed the end of the Austto-Hungarian empire. Like, how did newly independent countries set up state functions in new languages w/in newly defined borders?
Paleographers? #histsky
Ok #histsky, have any wars been started to distract the populace from a criminal sex scandal?
Hey #HistSky #MedievalSky...what's a go-to on the Beguines (as opposed to the Beguins)? Recent would be great. Thanks! 🗃
Early modern Navarre
(and sometimes Spain)
had the weirdest money system
1 ducado = 11 reales (who chooses a prime number for money?)
1 real = 36 or 34 reales (depends on Navarrese or Castilian)
1 quartillo = 1/4 real (only normal one)
1 tarja = 2/9 real (wtf??)

Any book recommendations on German-Japanese diplomatic relations prior to Pear Harbor anyone? I also seem to vaguely recall a source edition on German-Chinese diplomatic relations in the same timeframe. @wimimachtlehre.bsky.social @oberstwklink.bsky.social @aktenfresser.bsky.social #histsky
Hey! If you know someone (undergrad/grad) in either Charlotte or the Raleigh-Durham area who would do a couple hours of archival work (paid ofc), please send me a DM! I need someone to go thru a few boxes for me, for my dissertation.
